Remove any brush piles. Brush piles make great homes for adults to hide in.

Keep your gutters clean and clear.

Mosquitos are most active at dusk and early morning. Of course, this is the perfect time of day for everyone to be in their gardens.

When gardening, make sure to wear light-colored clothing and avoid wearing floral perfumes.

There are many repellants out on the market along with many plants that repel mosquitos. Although they do help, they are not 100 % guaranteed effective. The best way to avoid getting bit is not to go outside or to use a bug spray such as "OFF" while outdoors.
